Since two days I noticied that there is an App (moteur de synthèse vocale) consuming a large amount of battery when running (sometimes). For example, I have the issue right now and the last 11 minutes when my phone was idle, "Moteur de synthèse vocale" (Google vocal synthesis) was the app that consumed the most of battery (30% of the 11 min consumption) during 52 sec of execution. Two days ago, I've noticed that it was running during 10 min in the last 30 min!!! I have not the voice recognition option activated in the settings to unlock the screen.
What makes this app launch when the phone is idle?
•Oreo update
•Nova Prime
•LG-H933

Hi, just updated to 2.3.3 stock rom, no flash, using the standard LG upgrade software, from v10q (I believe) to v20g.
I installed no new apps, didn't change a thing on my phone, but now my battery drains in 12h of no use, screen off.
Battery information says the phone never goes to sleep anymore, the blue bar is continuous.
I've tried shutting down running apps using both the phone's built in app manager and Advanced Task Killer, doesn't change a thing.
Searching the forums, I've found people with battery drain, but never the same issue or solution so I'm hoping someone might know something more on my specific situation.
Here's how I use my phone and what apps I generally have running:
Audio Manager Console and Advanced Task Killer are always running, I keep data off most of the time, and turn it on when I use it occasionally (usually no more than a few minutes at a time), no wi-fi, most of the phone usage comes from Think Free Office (at least since I upgraded 2 days ago) and a few minutes of calls. Brightness is always on min.
This is mostly how I generally use my phone all the time (throw in a couple of hours a day of Bluetooth music using the default music player, but this hasn't been the case since the update) and I used to recharge every 2-3 days. Now it's 2 times a day.
Before the upgrade my phone would barely burn any battery in idle (maybe 1-2% during the 12 hours, as opposed to 94% as it currently does)
Battery health seems fine, temperature is around 20-25C
What can I do?

Use apn on off widget to kill ur connection when u don't nees it...its a known issue known as the fastdormancy bug, which when u turn off data it makes ye phone awake. Apn on off is the easiest solution know...
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Thanks, will try, update results
So I was on Sensation ROM without any issues. Ran it for months. Could easily go 36 hours with light use - not much drop when not in use (i.e. 8-10% overnight).
Suddenly, it started to drop like 10% an hour out of nowhere. Did this for a few days. I decided to try another ROM (Resurrection), wiped and tried again. I restored missing apps with data (which might be the issue) and it didn't seem to help. Unplugged 2 hours ago at 100%, and it's at 80% already with about 5 minutes of use.
CPU SPy shows 73% in deep sleep, which seems decent and 11% at 200MHZ
Better Battery Stats are confusing to me, but here are the items at the top (red bars showing):
Under Partial Wakelocks - AudioOut shows 4.7%, The media scanner service at 1.5% and some more minor stuff.
Under kernel wakelocks: BT Low power at 4.7%, Secril_fd_interface at 2.9% and multidp at 3.1%
Processes: kworker/0:1, kworker/0:3, kworker/0:2, kworker/0:0.

well the deep sleep should be int the 90's when not in use
looking into ur BBS stats u have audio wakelock and media scanner wakelock
which r draining ur batt thats why its under 200 mhz @ 11%
so please delete data cache of media scanner and also uncheck all ur audio settings under Systemsettings>sound then reboot after that wait for some time by not touchnig ur phone and after that check deepsleep with CPU spy it will be over 90% that ensure better batt life

Have you enabled BlueTooth?
Disable it if you do not actually need it.
Disable GPS, Bluetooth and WIFI when not using it.
Thanks for the help. I checked this morning and the phone is spending most of it's time at (50% or so) 200Mhz when sleeping, so it looks like it's not sleeping properly. I can't find anything called "media scanner" in apps or titanium, so I'm not sure how to delete that cache.
I checked BBS against today and it shows Audio_out as the leading partial wakelock, but how do I fix this? I unchecked everything in audio and rebooted and it didn't seem to help.
Second wakelock is network location active collector. Again, not sure how to fix this (is this location services?). I deleted data under "Network location" in titatium.

clear media storage data using titanium backup
its meda scanner
There is no app or anything called media server in Titanium or in the apps. it seems DRM protected storage and media manager might be it, but i cleared that data and the music disappeared and then the phone eventually froze and would not boot.
Any ideas? I re-flashed the ROM and it didn't fix it. How can this be an issue on two different Roms?
Thanks.

im also facing issues similiar to OP... the heck is audio out?
Same issue with multiple roms and full wipes. With and without restoring apps. Its driving me dreakin nuts!
I love Android.
I think the customization is great, and since v4 it's smoother and feels more responsive.
There are LOTS of apps and it's better than iOS.
But i'm sick of the battery issues.
I've always loved trying new features, ROMs, apps, hacks and whatever.
I now have SGS3 and it's my third android device, and i've installed ROMs dozens of times, even on my friends' devices.
One thing that always kept me alert is the battery life - the maximum I can get from my battery is around 30 hours with my usage - 1/5-2 hours of screen, ~45 minutes talk, lots of standby.
But every now and then, my girlfriend, my dad, my aunt or my friend ask me 'why does my battery drain so fast?'
Sometimes its google maps.
Sometimes its mediaserver/media scanner
Sometimes - and only I can see it cause they are not familiar with tools like BBS, it's gsf (Google Services Framework).
The point is, when you have an Android device, you need to check the battery stats every now and then to make sure nothing is unusually heavy on the battery.
I am currently experimenting with ParanoidAndroid and AOKP, which are faster and more responsive than omega/stock.
Yesterday i went to sleep (6 hours) with 25% battery (after it lasted 15 hours) and I turned off the data connection and the wireless connection.
I woke up after 6 hours (lucky..) and I saw my phone if off. after I connected it to the charger and turned it on I saw mediaserver decided to wake up in the middle of the night, after It almost did nothing during the day, and worked for 5.5 hours until the battery died!
Today I unplugged my phone and in 1 hour of standby 10% of the battery were gone, I checked what happened using BBS and saw gsf again (that GTALK_SYNC whatever wakelock) was draining battery, after I thought I fixed it yesterday when I disabled app data and browser sync in the google account sync options). I rebooted and now it seems ok again, the phone is back to ~70-80-% sleep.
I want to emphasize that I don't like all the stupid battery tips that tell me to castrate my phone:
turn off wifi when it's not needed, turn down the brightness, lower the screen timeout, disable sync (wtf? but its a smart phone, I WANT push notifications!) and that sort of things.
I KNOW I can get >24hours of battery without disabling the basic features of my phone.
And the draining battery processes that I mentioned earlier can suddenly appear even in a stock ROM, so I don't think it's PA or AOKP's fault.
What I want is that google will finally build a supervisor entity that will check what causes an unusual battery drain, check if it makes sense, and disable that cause!
It's absurd that google maps application comes with default 'enable location reporting' that constantly drains your battery and for what?? google maps doesn't run in the foreground, why the hell will I want that background location reporting draining my battery? and if so, why do you put this option enabled BY DEFAULT? The average user doesn't know this sort of stuff, and get only 10 hours of battery out of a device that should ideally provide ~30 hours!!!
Just wanted to let it out of my system...
And to get useful battery tips if any...
I have noticed weird behaviour of my Lenovo A1000 tablet and I would like to find out is it normal (I was finding similar topic but I've not found).
When I charged device fully and unplugged it, battery discharges slowly by about 24 hours. After about 12 hours from disconnection battery is 98%, next 12 hours - 95-96%. Afterwards, it discharges much faster, for example - before night it is 95%, in morning it is 83%. Sometimes it falls 20%.
I installed Wakelock Detector. By first 24 hours, it says that there was 1 screen wakelock: Android System - keyguard triggered several times and it lasted several seconds (always less than 20). When my battery is being drained, WD says that this wakelock lasted above 1 hour.
Is it normal, or something drains my battery, or battery sensor/indicator is low quality?
Tablet doesn't have 3G modem; Wi-Fi is turned off when device is asleep; turned on sync: Gmail, calendar, contacts (photos, G+, Facebook, Twitter etc are turned off); positioning is turned off (GPS, Wi-Fi); Google Now is disabled; all apps are up to date.
Screenshots from WD (I can't post links/images)
Code:

OK, I've done some tests. Battery is drainded when Wi-Fi is turned on and lost connection, even when it is set to switch off when asleep. When I make device asleep and turn off my Wi-Fi router, tablet is awake during that time and it can't go into deep sleep. I uninstalled apps like Facebook etc. and it didn't help, hence it is not problem with app sync (unless Google services).
Does anybody know where is the problem?
It's a stock T-Mobile LG G5. I get around 2-2.5h SOT. Overnight it drops the battery by 8-11%. There are 34 screenshots in the ZIP file below, showing GSAM Battery monitor and BetterBatteryStats data. I've never used BetteryBatteryStats before so if someone could help me identify the culprit I'd greatly appreciate that.
The signal strength is excellent and the always-on display is disabled. The bluetooth and GPS are always enabled. I should mention that last week I put the phone in Airplane mode and the drain stopped, but obviously it's not a solution.
1.) why do you know, that the gsm signal is excellent? Because you can see 5 stripes in the notification bar? That is not real! I can see 5 stripes too, but this at 15 ASU.
But 100% signal is = 30 ASU! So this result can differ even you believe you can see 100 signal quality.
2.) my system is running on 20p. No BT and no Wlan (no NFC) with 8% for 24Std. (150 user apps installed)
3.) wifi and G-Mail polling sucks much battery power too! you should switch it of to compare! or is it real necessary to be on over the night???
4.) what’s about the google fitness app? this app needs power to check the sensors.
5.) Twitter; Google; G-Mail; Fotos are syncing many times! You can see together more then 800 wake ups!
no wonder that this together will suck your battery empty!
i would suggest you to switch off BT and W.Lan over the night! This should spend a lot of battery power too! Same for syncing and background data traffic.
Try to use 3C Battery Monitor app. there you can see the power consumption every 10 min in the night.
read this too! -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=74381087&postcount=327
I have 55 ASUs, so the connection is not the problem. Last night it only drained by 1%. I had both Bluetooth and GPS enabled so I don't think they are the problem either. Twitter, Gmail also were enabled and they actually pulled and displayed some notifications, yet the drain was minimal.
What I think sometimes happens is Google app or Play Services goes crazy starts waking up the phone for no reason. Would you agree based on the screenshots? Or could it be some bug in the OS that does this?
